Vertigo

Boy where did I go? I can't remember when I wrote last.
Wish I could say all's well but I can't.

Remember a few years ago where I was falling all over San Antonio? It's back and this time I was diagnosed with vertigo. The movie is mild compared to mine.

I'll be sitting doing nothing and all of a sudden I feel it coming on. I get all sweaty, everything gets blurry, and I tingle all over. My knees also start getting wobbly and I always feel like I'm beginning to fall. Same for when I'm walking.

Falling at home is okay because I'm home and nobody can see me. The only problem is if I fall down, I sometimes wind  up unconscious on the floor. Or like the other night I fell down and hit my head on the filing cabinet before I fell. I lay about an hour before attempting to get up.

And through it all, Jean-Luc looks after me. He knows when I feel sick or when I pass out, he stays with me until I come out of it. He's a godsend and a great child. I can't believe next month means we're celebrating seven years together.

The latest is a mixture of wobbly knees and I start walking diagonally or today I was walking at a front angle like I was gonna keel over.

This activity makes me almost become a shut-in. The great thing here is that I don't go out so I don't spend. And then I was wondering why there's money left for the month.

I hope this makes up for my absence.

Chiflaco out.

Fall In The Fall

Looks like it's that time again. I've begun  falling down again. This time I know it's from vertigo. Dr. gave me medication to keep it under control.

It's weird. I'll be going about minding my own business when all of a sudden the room starts spinning and my knees buckle and them poom, I'm on the floor. I've fallen twice in the downtown area.

And yes I'm falling at home. One memorable night I fell down twice. In between I kept laying down catching my breath and  waiting for the spinning to stop. Jean-Luc did the best he could. He lay down next to me and kept pawing at me. He's such a sweetheart.
